Summary:This study was made in the frame of an ongoing NFR project aiming at assessing the impact of drilling mud (DM) discharges from offshore O&G operations on the coldwater coral species Lophelia pertusa. Here, we have initiated developments and use of methodologies that could have a potential for application, at a later stage of their optimization, in field monitoring of coral health and hence for documenting the effects of drilling mud discharges Total E&P Norge as
